As of Jan 1, 2019, there are new CPT codes to distinguish between unilateral and bilateral breast MRI. If a patient needs a diagnostic left MRI, should the unilateral code (77048) be billed? The radiology facility that does the MRI's is telling us that we have to order a bilateral MRI (77049) regardless because the machine has to image both breasts and the radiologist has to read everything that is imaged.
